Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

They knew Kakashi had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, but they never expected Haneda to do so as well!

Kakashi greeted the Third Hokage and then sat down, while Haneda took his seat directly.

Just when everyone thought the Third Hokage might make trouble for Haneda, nothing happened.

Kakashi vaguely understood something and smiled at Haneda.

At this moment, the third generation leader spoke:

"The main purpose of today's Jonin meeting is to discuss the election of the new Hokage, the Fifth Hokage."

"I am getting old and can no longer handle the affairs of the village. Today, I am officially announcing my resignation as Hokage."

"Next is the candidate voting. Those who intend to run for office, please come up on stage and give your speeches."

After speaking, the Third Generation left the podium and sat down in a chair next to him.

He felt much more relaxed and comfortable, but at the same time, a sense of weariness washed over him.

At this moment, no one in the meeting room stood up and went up to the stage.

Everyone silently stared in one direction: the location where Uchiha Haneda was.

Haneda stood up to meet everyone's gaze and strode towards the front of the conference room.

"My name is Uchiha Haneda."

"I came here for only one thing: to become Hokage and make Konoha great again!"

With just two short sentences from Haneda, all the Jonin of the Uchiha clan stood up and clapped in praise.

The Shimura clan reacted quickly, even faster than the Hyuga clan in taking sides. At the same time that the Uchiha clan stood up, the clan leader led the way by standing up and applauding.

Immediately afterwards, Hyuga, Hatake, Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame, Sarutobi... all the Jonin, including civilian ninjas, stood up.

The Third Hokage looked at the scene before him and subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

He knew that the voices supporting Haneda would be unprecedented, but he didn't expect that everyone would support Haneda.

This completely exceeded the Third Generation's expectations.

Even Haneda was very surprised.

He had already anticipated that over 80% of the Jonin would support him.

But I never expected it to be 100%!

However, upon closer reflection, it does make sense.

Haneda had accumulated enough military achievements and prestige during the Third Shinobi World War, and also had a deep relationship with the Fourth Shinobi.

The Fourth Hokage represented the commoner class, and all commoner Jonin naturally had a favorable impression of Haneda.

As for clan ninjas, they have to consider far more than ordinary people, including the survival and prosperity of their entire clan.

The Shimura family, in order to demonstrate their determination to abandon darkness and embrace light, rushed to be the second to join the alliance.

With the Hyuga clan, the second largest clan in Konoha, clearly siding with Haneda, the outcome of this election was already predetermined.

They naturally followed suit without any hesitation.

After the applause subsided, Haneda glanced around the conference room and smiled:

"It seems I am the undisputed Hokage."

Upon hearing Haneda's speech, Asuma immediately echoed in the audience:

"of course!"

"Brother Haneda is the most outstanding ninja in the entire Hidden Leaf Village!"

"No one understands Naruto better than Brother Haneda, and no one is more suitable to be the Hokage than Brother Haneda!"

The people in the conference room gave Asuma a strange look.

However, considering the Third Hokage's attitude towards Haneda, they immediately understood.

It turns out that Haneda and the Third Hokage had already reached a consensus that this Jonin meeting was just a show.

Chief Shimura was the second to loudly echo:

"That's right! Konoha can only become great again under the leadership of the naturally kind-hearted Uchiha Hero!"

"Our entire Shimura clan openly supports Lord Haneda!!"

Haneda glanced at the clan head Shimura and said jokingly:

"The Root leader, Danzo Shimura, is also a member of your Shimura clan. Does he also support me?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chief Shimura replied:

"The inherently evil old devil Danzo has been expelled from the Shimura clan!!"

"Danzo escaped from Konoha Prison three years ago. On behalf of the Shimura clan, I implore Lord Haneda to order the capture of this fugitive!!"

"Very good, very good. The Shimura clan's loyalty to Konoha is evident."

Haneda was amused by the Shimura family's pragmatism, but he wasn't about to let them off so easily.

"I heard that a large portion of the funds for the Root organization came from the Shimura clan, and Danzo, that old devil, is now nowhere to be found..."

Before Haneda could finish speaking, Chief Shimura patted his chest and assured him:

"The expenses for capturing the fugitive criminal Danzo will all be borne by our Shimura clan!!"

"Our Shimura clan is willing to dedicate the entire clan's strength to Lord Haneda, even unto death!!!"

Hearing this, even the Third Generation couldn't stand Shimura's integrity anymore.

He coughed a few times and said:

“Elder Danzo fell seriously ill last night and has asked me for leave.”

“His three years of serious crimes have been pardoned by me; he is no longer a criminal.”

Haneda glanced at the Third Hokage beside him, and considering his sensible behavior that morning and the father-son relationship with Asuma, he did not delve any further into the matter.

Haneda already had a plan in mind regarding Danzo's scheme.

He didn't expect to rely on Konoha's power to arrest Danzo.

Haneda said calmly:

"Third Hokage, since I am the only candidate for Hokage, all the Jonin have voted unanimously in favor of me."

"Let's just announce the results."

"I, Uchiha Haneda, shall succeed as the Fifth Hokage!"

The third generation shook his head:

"According to the succession rules set by Lord Hashirama, the election of Hokage also requires the approval of the villagers and the consent of the Daimyo."

Haneda didn't think much of the villagers' approval.

But the way the Third Hokage addressed him with "My name, sir" made him feel nauseous.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Haneda's mind, and he smiled:

"Let's leave it at that then, it won't take long."

After the candidate vote, the Third Hokage immediately announced that Uchiha Haneda would succeed as the Fifth Hokage.

Since the war between Konoha and Kumogakure was not yet completely over, the Third Hokage quickly set a time for the village election.

Three days later.

This period was used for Haneda to garner votes and gain the villagers' approval.

Of course, the third generation also had his own ulterior motives.

Haneda will be very busy in the coming days, so his old friend Danzo can leave Konoha smoothly.

However, the Third Hokage was unaware that Danzo was plotting something big.

He never left Konoha.

After the Jonin meeting ended, Asuma immediately ran to Haneda's side.

He excitedly grabbed Haneda's arm and shouted:

"Brother Haneda!"

"It's been three years! Do you know how I've spent these three years, Brother Haneda?!"

Kakashi pulled Asuma away:

"Ahem, Haneda is also going to succeed as Hokage, Asuma, watch your image."

Asuma glanced into Kakashi's eyes; he sensed something was off.

But thinking that his older brother Haneda was about to become Hokage, he planned to give him a surprise.
